Prepare for Router Installation

Prepare for Router Installation
Before you install the Cisco 1000 Series Integrated Services Routers, you must prepare your site for the
installation. This chapter provides pre-installation information, such as recommendations and requirements
that should be considered before installing your router.
See the following sections to prepare for installation:

Ethernet Connections

The IEEE has established Ethernet as standard IEEE 802.3. The routers support the following Ethernet
implementations:
1000BASE-T—1000 Mb/s full-duplex transmission over a
Category 5 or better unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable.
100BASE-T—100 Mb/s full-duplex transmission over a
Category 5 or better unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable.
10BASE-T—10 Mb/s full-duplex transmission over a
Category 5 or better unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable.
See the Cisco Modular Access Router Cable Specifications document at Cisco.com for information about
Ethernet cables, connectors, and pinouts.

Required Tools and Equipment for Installation and Maintenance

You need the following tools and equipment to install and upgrade the router and its components:
• An ESD-preventive cord and a wrist strap
• A number 2 Phillips screwdriver
• Phillips screwdrivers: small, 3/16-in. (4 to 5 mm) and medium 1/4-in. (6 to 7 mm). You might need these
• Screws that fit your rack
• A wire crimper
• A wire for connecting the chassis to an earth ground: AWG 14 (2 mm²) or larger wire
• An appropriate user-supplied UL or a CSA-certified ring terminal with an inner diameter of 1/4 in. (5 to
when you install or remove modules, and when you remove the cover (when you upgrade the memory
or other components)
7 mm)
